Kick EMElectromagnetic surgical
navigation system

Kick^® EM is a unique streamlined navigation platform with a small footprint for frameless procedures. Its minimalistic design makes Kick EM portable and easy to setup. Ideal for small O.R.s or as an add-on system for easy pointer navigation at larger facilities. Kick EM consists of three parts: the field generator, the connection panel and the Kick monitor cart. The field generator, fixed with a flexible arm for optimized patient setup, creates the electromagnetic field around the patient’s head. The connection panel, mounted to the O.R. table or directly on the monitor cart, is the interface between the tracking unit and the navigation system. A step-by-step animated workflow guides the user through system setup and ensures a smooth surgical procedure.

• No line-of-sight issues associated with optical tracking

• Large tracking volume and articulated arm for flexible positioning of field generator

• Ergonomic remote control pointer minimizes screen interaction

• Drapable 21.5” full HD touch display for excellent visualization of clinical data
